High-Strength Steel for Machinery Guards
Cold-rolled coil of high-strength nonalloy steel, under 0.5 mm thick and over 600 mm wide, for protective guards on industrial machines. 7209.18.15.60 designation for other uncoated high-strength steel coils per precise US note yield requirements.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not high-strength steel
Standard nonalloy cold-rolled <0.5mm coils use 7209.19 without strength premium.
If burnished/polished surface
Burnishing qualifies as further working per Chapter note, requiring 7212 heading.
If assembled into complete machines
Machinery with integrated guards classifies in Chapter 84/85, not raw steel.

Import Tips & Compliance
• For machinery end-use, consider temporary importation under bond if further processing in US
• Markings must include steel grade and HTS for traceability
• Avoid borating/oxalating—chemical treatments are 'further worked' exclusions
